I believe the most important thing a tutor can do to assist a student is to understand that every individual has there own way of learning and that it is the tutor's role to adapt to the student to form personalised explanations and learning plans. Additionally, a tutor should take responsibility to maintain a good command of the subject area…

Be honest. It is very important for a tutor to be honest in their responses. Secondly, the language the teacher uses has great impact on the students. Therefore, the language should always be clear and clean. My strength as a tutor is that I can impart the concept in a very understandable manner using different aides (visual etc.). I make sure…

I think that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to truly understand them and their learning ways. For example, I am a visual learner and so I learn better using diagrams, colours and videos. But not everyone is a visual learner and so they might need other aids to help them learn concepts such as songs or textbooks. I…

Inside South WentworthvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Adam revised index laws and worked through adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions, with a brief introduction to right-angled trigonometry.

For Year 10, Priya focused on writing empirical and word formulae for ionic compounds, including those with polyatomic ions, while also exploring how ionic bonds form using key terminology.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Zara practiced calculating isotope abundance and drawing orbital diagrams, revisited ionic bonding response structure, and was introduced to metallic bonding concepts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Chemistry, one student hesitated to answer ionic compound questions without checking notes, revealing a reliance on aids that slowed exam-style practice.

During Year 10 Maths, another struggled with factorising quadratics—notes showed working steps were often skipped or incomplete, making error tracing difficult ("he jumped straight to answers without writing out the expansion").

In a Year 7 English narrative task, perfectionism crept in: frequent erasing and redrafting led to unfinished drafts by lesson's end.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for HSC essays left feedback unaddressed between sessions; their main points remained unclear when revisiting the draft.

Recent Achievements

One South Wentworthville tutor saw a Year 11 student who previously mixed up ionic and covalent compounds now confidently naming each type without hesitation, after struggling for weeks.

In Year 10 maths, a student who often guessed at fraction questions started asking clarifying questions instead and managed to correctly solve challenging algebraic fractions by the end of the session.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who had been nervous about reading out loud volunteered to read an entire paragraph from their history text in front of the tutor—something they'd never attempted before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I just wanted to let you know how very happy we are with Tianna's tutor, Josephine. Josephine is so bubbly, easy going, very patient and great at teaching Maths and making it fun to learn.   Tianna is quite taken with Josephine, has built a great rapport with her and has made huge progress with her algebra in the short while Josephine has been tutoring her. Josephine is definitely a great asset to your company and we are so happy she is Tianna's tutor

Compliments on the nice touch with the follow up. It comes across as very professional. In fact the whole process from my initial inquiry about getting some help for Jake, through to now has been very professional, informative and direct. Yes, things have been progressing well between Jake and his tutor. They formed a good rapport straight off the bat. Jake has made comment of his own free will how he is enjoying the support. That in itself is something - getting more than a grunt from a 16 yr old!

Tilly has been doing very well at school with her maths - she received an A on her report. She says she is far more confident. Thank you so much for providing us with an excellent tutor in Christy - it would be my pleasure to provide a reference any time. It has made a significant difference to our daughter's confidence.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Wentworthville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Hilltop Road Public School.
